Porchside Songs will include the Asian Riffing Trio, a pre-existing cabaret act comprised of Colin Asuncion, Chris Tsujiuchi and Kevin Wong.Each of these three intimate concerts has its own dedicated producer who will visit sites in advance to make sure they are not too intimate, ensure physical distancing between performers and a full 12 feet between singers and audience, and help prevent any spontaneous mass gatherings from occurring.

Later this fall, Musical Stage Company’s annual fall event Uncovered – a popular concert series involving iconic songs in imaginative arrangements by Reza Jacobs – is going ahead, though not as originally planned., this year’s modified edition, will feature as-yet-unnamed musical artists performing songs by Elton John, Carole King, Bob Dylan, Jann Arden and other pop and rock icons in locations that are meaningful to them, professionally filmed and recorded.

One Song Glory, a musical theatre education initiative for youth ages 13-19, will go online this year and therefore be available to teens from coast to coast.
